ORIGIN

This 1964 MG MGB is powered by a numbers-matching 1.8-liter inline four backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller purchased the car three years ago and had it disassembled and repainted in the original Tartan Red during his ownership. The car received an alternator conversion, electronic ignition conversion and spin-on oil filter conversion within the last three years. Other recent mechanical work includes a new clutch, pressure plate and oil cooler. The radiator and fuel tank have also been cleaned. This MGB is sold with a BMIHT certificate and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

The seller had the car repainted as the reported 51-year-old Tartan Red was showing its age. The car was disassembled and stripped prior to the repaint with PPG-sourced base and clearcoat. The subframes and suspension components were refinished in black.

The seller also fitted new bumpers, grille, wire wheels and Michelin tires. The original red convertible top has been replaced with a black vinyl top.

Originally red, the interior has been retrimmed in black vinyl with white piping. The black carpets have contrasting MG logos. During the repaint the metal dash was removed and repainted with correct-style crinkle finish black paint. All instruments and the heater are said to work correctly. 60k miles are shown, though the true total is unknown.

Power comes from a 1.8-liter BMC B-Series inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Modifications include a spin-on oil filter conversion, alternator conversion, and electronic ignition. Other work performed during the seller’s ownership included fitting a new clutch, pressure plate, oil cooler, and wiring harness. The radiator and fuel tank have both been removed and cleaned.
